What Vanessa found joy in the interaction with Shi Tian wasn't because of his harshness and coldness directed at her. She was not a masochist that enjoyed being dismissed repeatedly or reprimanded.
It was for the fact that Shi Tian had treated her as a normal person, and not some wealthy heir with a lot of power behind her family.
The people she met in life would always let her have her way without disapproving or reprimanding her. Yet Shi Tian seemed to be the devil's incarnation, born to nitpick everything bad about her, regardless of how small the matter was.
He never bothered to sugarcoat things and would scold her whenever she made some mistake.
Hell, even when she was near death, Shi Tian didn't even bother to bat an eyelid except for that one particular time- which she still didn't know why he reacted in such a manner.
Those gentle eyes and worried expressions were so genuine that they touched one's heart and melted them softly.
